This zine titled Tokyo and my Daughter was created by Tokyo
based photographer Takashi Homma. In his photographs he depicts the urban
cityscapes of Tokyo and well as documenting his daughter from being a toddler
to a little girl. I’m a big fan of documentary photography because they give
you an insight to other people’s lives. I find Homma’s photographic style in
this zine has a sense of calmness to it, creating a strong contrast to the
energy and chaos of Tokyo. The double page spread layout for photographs works
really well as the image can be larger and enables sequential images (Bottom
image). Homma’s use of sequence in his photography enhances the feeling of
being in the moment; he sets a scene. I think documenting the Northern Quarter
through photographs is a great way of re-creating the place for the viewer. One
double page spread containing a photograph would create a nice break within the
AWOL zine.
